No big deal to me, just pointing it out.

I wrote them and my AI formaliser helped me to be more passionate

Yeah, don't do that. Your post reads very strange and artificial. A machine can't deliver compassion.

Eerily reminiscent of David Cameron and the Brexit Referendum...

Sitze im Homeoffice und habe nichts zu tun. Firma ist schon länger etwas am strugglen, letztes Jahr gab es auch viel Kurzarbeit. Jetzt gibt es zwar ein paar Aufträge, die aber alle noch nicht so weit sind dass ich (Softwareentwickler) daran arbeiten kann. Naja, hänge mal das e-MTB an den Strom und wenn sich bis heute Mittag nichts tut geht's ab in den Wald.

Wonder if we're already starting to see the impact of AI being trained on AI-generated content.

You should be verified now.

Prinzipiell kann man das machen, aber die meisten Leute haben weder die Zeit noch die Expertise um alles selbst zu recherchieren und einordnen zu können. Viele Leute die denken sie bilden sich eine eigene Meinung landen dann in irgendeiner Verschwörungstheoretiker- oder Wissenschaftsleugner-Bubble. Im Gegensatz zu irgendwelchen beliebigen Twitter Nutzern gibt es für Journalisten zumindest Standards and die sie sich halten müssen und Konsequenzen wenn sie z.b. regelmäßig Falschmeldungen veröffentlichen.

I'd be curious to see that if you have the link. The mod devs state in their FAQ that they're not using any leaked code, but of course it's possible that they're lying.

That really sucks. I guess I can see why Valve is not so permissive when it comes to one of their major cash cows. But it seems like they handled this really poorly by initially signalling permission for the project and then deciding otherwise at the last minute and after years of work.

Da sehe ich wirklich das Problem nicht. Es gibt einen großen Unterschied dazwischen, die Aussage die ein Politiker auf sozialen Medien gepostet hat zu zitieren und unkritisch Nachrichten von beliebigen Accounts zu glauben. Da viel Kommunikation von Politikern usw heutzutage nunmal über soziale Medien abläuft, wäre ein Journalismus der diese komplett ignoriert kaum haltbar und einfach unvollständig.

Played a bit of it. It works quite well on a gamepad. You control the characters (initially just one, but pretty sure you'll get a crew later) directly with the analog stick. It's nothing like a traditional RTS, more of a strategic stealth game.

Entkommen wohin? Neuwahlen und dann Blau-Schwarz?

Oof. First time this happened in German history. He'll probably get voted in in the 2nd or 3rd vote, but this sure sets the tone for the new government.

I don't really agree that gamers should be blamed for this. Especially when it comes to lootboxes, battlepasses, gatcha etc. Those mechanics are tailor-made to exploit common psychological weaknesses in humans. The companies using these tactics and the lawmakers not stopping them should be blamed, not the people being exploited.

Going back to simple price increases, it's not true that these always work out well for the companies or result in record sales. Remember the 3DS Ambassador program? Nintendo has already faceplanted pretty hard with their pricing strategy before. Since the Switch 2 isn't even released, we have no idea how well the more expensive games will sell.

Switch 2 isn't even out yet. We have no idea how the raised game prices will affect sales numbers.

As expected the industry is following Nintendo lead thanks to gamers.

What do you mean by "thanks to gamers"?

theoldnet.com has some of that and also works on really old systems and browsers.

Yeah, but I don't think the nutters make up the full quarter of the voting population currently willing to vote for them. Lots of them are protest voters who are just vaguely "against". Besides, I don't think it'd be the deportations making some people reconsider, but the sheer economic stupidity of the Trump government as well as their attitude towards Europe. I fully expect Americans to be far poorer and more miserable in 2-3 years and that might do wonders to dispel the myth that the far-right could "fix the economy".

From my European perspective:

• Countries are finally starting to push for independence from the US when it comes to defence etc
• The UK and Canada moving closer to the EU, increasing political and economic cooperation
• Brain drain from the US leading to American academics moving to Europe, bolstering our economy and research
• Hopefully seeing how fucked up the US is will eventually lead some people to reconsider voting for the far-right in Europe

Could you give us an example of such a location please?

Russia, which is blocked from other international payment systems. Or any other authoritarian country where you might not necessarily want the government to know where you donate your money to.

Whataboutism fallacy.

We're still throwing around fallacies like it's 2010? Okay, I cast fallacy fallacy!

When talking about whether a donation button should have a specific payment option, it's relevant if the alternatives it offers are better or worse. Otherwise, the argument might as well be to not have a donation option at all.
